Hi Simon,
I wanted to use this flag because, in my $CATALINA_HOME/common/lib,
I have mysql-connector-java-2.0.14-bin.jar
but,
in some wars, I have
WEB-INF/lib/mysql-connector-java-3.0.15-ga-bin.jar
WEB-INF/lib/naming-factory-dbcp.jar
and in other wars, I don't have any Driver Mysql
So, I'd want the war_WEB-INF/lib/<Mysql_jar> to be taken BEFORE the
common/lib/<Mysql_jar> one when it is possible
and
the common/lib/<Mysql_jar> to be taken in other cases.
So I tried to put
<Loader className="org.apache.catalina.loader.WebappLoader" delegate="false" />
or
<Loader className="org.apache.catalina.loader.WebappLoader" delegate="true" />
in my Context.xml
But it is always the common/lib/jar one which is taken :-((
I don't know if it is a bug or a bad config from me ....
If a Tomcat Developer can say to me what I am wrong ...
Note : To confirm the Driver version, I print :
dataSource.getClass().getClassLoader().getResource("org/gjt/mm/mysql/Driver.class");
Cheers
